The modification of the interface between polycarbonate (PC) and PetPhb60 was studied. The ester interchange reaction between the components of the 50% w/w mixture, responsible for the formation of molecular segments of intermediate affinity toward the parent polymers, has greatly affected the morphology of extrudate samples. The reacted compound was used in the ratio of 5% as compatibilizer in the formulation of the in situ composite between PC and PetPhb60, containing 10% of the reinforcing thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (TLCP). The effects of the adhesion promoter has been evaluated comparing the morphological features of melt-drawn fibers with the previous result concerning the fibers without the compatibilizer.

Abstract
The modification of the interface between polycarbonate (PC) and PetPhb60 was studied. The ester interchange reaction between the components of the 50% w/w mixture, responsible for the formation of molecular segments of intermediate affinity toward the parent polymers, has greatly affected the morphology of extrudate samples. The reacted compound was used in the ratio of 5% as compatibilizer in the formulation of the in situ composite between PC and PetPhb60, containing 10% of the reinforcing thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (TLCP). The effects of the adhesion promoter has been evaluated comparing the morphological features of melt-drawn fibers with the previous result concerning the fibers without the compatibilizer.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
